My name on enworld is the name of my best PC from D&D. He was origionaly spelled Belisarius, but NEVER Belesarious, Mr. Xen. You know Belesarius takes offense to that. He's arogant. Even for a paladin. Anyway, he was named after an obscure Byzantine general from the middle ages. And, no I don't mean the current DM, who if ever to get on these boards, would be Sidwyn or Jabogan. I mean Mr ChaosEvoker. Yes sir, you are indeed a rat bastard. Here's how Belesarius dies. (Though he came back later.) We had just gotten Xen into the group and were playing in my living room, when for some reason all our PCs were transported to this arena, where we were to battle one of two enemies to the death. One coice was an arcane archer. Now this was the eventual class of Vorramion, who by the way, was first named Furion Stormrage. Sound familiar? Yeah. The druid from WarCraft II. So he took some name some girlfriend gave him. Now he was an arcane archer, and didn't know how to use the class, as we were still trying to transition between 2E and 3E. So he was amazingly overpowered. And this guy was higher level, and he had a cloak of mirroring like the one in Baldur's Gate Two. It reflects all ARCANE spell damage back at the caster. So we decided there was no way. So we took the other choice, and you're going to enjoy this, two paragon tarrasques. You may be thinking to yourselves, "but there is only one tarrasque, and it might as well be paragon, as it destroyes everyhting in about two rounds!" Yes, well, there were two. And they were paragon. And not like the prestige class in Unearthed Arcana, like the template in Epic Level Handbook. So ChaosEvoker told us we were stupid and made us fight the arcane archer instead. Now Belesarius had a secret weapon, and after the monk charged and valiently died, Belesarius the great paladin (and master of ironic weapons) slamed his demon sword on the ground and threw a seriously beefed flame strike right down on the sucker, at the expense of most of my hit points and strength(temp), as to harness the power, I had to give some of my energy to the sword. And it reflected. And I died. Now first, this was stupid, because ChaosEvoker just wanted us dead. Second, the cloak was only supoosed to reflect ARCANE damage. This was divine! Flamestrike was always primarily a divine spell! And this was diffinately the divine version, because that's what was said about it when I got the thing. The arcone archer promptly killed the remaining characters, which I believe were only the rogue and Xen's character. I don't know which one it was. Anyway, from that day, I will always regard Chaos as a rat bastard, and there's nothing he can do about it. I still enjoy the game, but that made me mad. It was a final straw, if you will.</p></blockquote><p></p>
